Tour De Vaap

“I wanna lay next to you when our glory fades/And I wanna lay next to you, I’ll never turn away”

There’s something about Matthew E. White’s voice that cuts right through me, and I mean that in the best possible way.  In his debut single, “One of These Days,” White sings about redemption and love with a voice that soothes, placates and philosophizes.  It’s the kind of voice that makes you drift into a dreamy state of mind and your troubles slink away.  And while his voices soothes, horns lift and the strings provide a texture grounding the song in strength and optimism.  It’s the kind of song you’ll want to hear over and over and over, at least, until White brings us some more masterpieces in August with the release of his debut Big Inner.  Check out the jazzy love tune below.
